Chapter 605 Time-Consuming Strategy
Li Yi was just regretful, Yu Jiang felt heartache.
Money, so much money, just growing there and no one wants it.
‘Bohai’ doesn’t understand, they occupy the biggest space.
“Master Li, do Khitans use this kind of things after drying?” Yu Jiang wanted to send a message back.
“Planthodon and mountain carrot can be dried, but prickly ash and this… mountain pepper seedlings can’t, it’s also called clematis.”
Li Yi shook his head and pointed to two pictures to introduce.
“The green ones can’t be transported.” Yu Jiang frowned.
“There is a way, canned food, canned food in porcelain bottles, these don’t need porcelain bottles, porcelain bottles are expensive, pottery jars.
First blanch them in boiling water, then soak them in cold water immediately after blanching, and then salt them.
Although they are not as good as fresh ones, but if you take them back and soak them, the taste can still be preserved.”
Li Yi gave a storage method, which sounded simple.
But the key is that pottery jars are needed. Khitans are not short of salt, there are salt lakes there, but they are short of iron, ceramics, and tea.
"Is there any other way?" Yu Jiang felt disappointed when he heard about the pottery jar.
"Of course there is. The pickles in my farm are made of rattan baskets and lined with oil paper, which is also watertight." Li Yi gave another method.
"Oil paper?" Yu Jiang found that he needed something anyway, and Khitan didn't have oil paper.
"In fact, I know that the conditions in Khitan are not very good, so I'm thinking about bringing what they have that we don't have to me.
We have what they don't have, and we send it to them.
This is called mutual exchange. We have worthless things in Khitan, and we give our worthless things to Khitan.
No one suffers, and everyone develops in harmony. Don't you think this is the truth?"
While Li Yi was talking, he casually drew a box of shrimp oil side dishes on the farm.
After thinking about it, he wrote the sentence "Famous in the frontier for nine hundred miles, the taste is better than the thirteenth floor in the south of the Yangtze River", and marked the box: assorted side dishes.
Yu Jiang sat there and took a deep breath, then stood up to serve the soup.
After returning, he smiled and said, "If Li Dongzhu can really contact Khitan, I will also try it when the things are shipped back."
"I hope so. I'm afraid the Khitans will not understand. The two places are blocked, and it's not easy to drink tea. Bohai occasionally brings some tea back by sea."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he drank the soup, clasped his fists, and turned back to the manor.
Qingsong came over and put the things in the box, dragging them away.
Yu Jiang sat there, looking at the four pictures, especially the picture of the last small vegetable jar.
"You can use this to pack the things and sell them at a high price in the Tang Dynasty. No, I want to send a message back, and I must agree to some economic and cultural exchanges."
He muttered, put away the four pieces of paper, crossed the bridge, and returned to his "home".
Guo Ziyi found a place to write a letter and sent someone to deliver it to the palace.
He knew that Yu Jiang was an "elite" spy of the Khitan, but he met Li Yi and was exposed when they met for the first time.
Li Yi actually knew the origin of coal and amber, which was not available in the southwest.
In the palace, Li Longji accompanied Li Dan to eat spicy hot pot.
The chili peppers in Li Yi's greenhouse were illuminated by extra lights, and he harvested them as they matured.
The chili seeds were left, and the outer skin was made into chili powder and chili sauce. He did not sell them, but gave some to Li Longji and others.
Knowing that Li Yi did not have to exchange his life, Li Longji ate happily.
During the New Year, all the sacrifices were held, and there was no court meeting.
The family ate and drank, and other concubines, Zhaoyi, and talented people did not come.
Queen Wang was there, she held her son and ate by herself.
The little guy saw others eating deliciously and stretched out his little hand: "Ah, ah!"
Queen Wang picked up a carrot strip, dipped it in the clear soup, and fed her son as if she was ready to eat.
The little guy grabbed the carrot strip with his little hand and bit it slowly, and felt that it was enough.
"If you were given this spicy food, you would cry for a long time."
Queen Wang smiled and said that she gave the baby some hot sauce a few days ago, and the baby cried.
"Sanlang, I heard that the price of kerosene lamps and thermoses has increased again. Li Yi is helping the Ministry of Revenue to make money."
Li Dan has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. It's cold, mainly because it's cloudy and the air is low.
He wants to go to Zuixianju to soak in the hot springs, but he wants to take Li Yi with him.
Li Longji put five strings of mushrooms in: "He wants to establish the brand of Lijia Manor in Bashui. If the things are cheap, how can we reflect the goodness of the manor's things."
"For this year's imperial examination, we need to ask Xiao Yi more about the current affairs policy." Concubine Dou Lu helped to speak.
Usually, she had no power to manage it, but today she spoke specifically for Li Yi.
"We need to ask." Li Longji understood that 220 students of Manor had to pass the exam.
There would be no problem if the current affairs policy was leaked. And if the dictation questions failed, it would not be a pity to eliminate them. Don't leak this question.
A little eunuch slipped in, found Gao Lishi, handed him a letter, and quietly slipped away.
Gao Lishi took a look at the letter and handed it to Li Longji.
Li Longji scanned it once, read it carefully, and handed it to Li Dan: "Brother Yi has taken action. He kept the Khitan spies, and finally they came in handy."
Li Dan looked at it and gave it to Concubine Dou Lu, and said at the same time: "Zhuangzi can make a lot of money by selling oil paper."
Concubine Dou Lu gave it to Queen Wang after reading it, and said: "It's hard for that child. What kind of people does he have to deal with all day long? I heard that Yao Chong and Bi Gou treated him with contempt."
Li Longji smiled and nodded. He knew what was going on with Yao Chong and Bi Gou.
Yao Chong was of course unhappy that his power was divided.
Bi Gou wanted to make more money for the Tang Dynasty in the position of the Ministry of Revenue. The previous Minister of Revenue could only take money from one place and pay it back to another.
Now that there is a way to make extra money, he must keep an eye on it.
If he is not allowed to be the Minister of Revenue, he will treat Li Yi differently.
"Uncle wants to give the Khitan a sweet treat first. As long as the Khitan can benefit from the transaction, they must change their strategy towards the Tang Dynasty.
They have money, so it is impossible to buy iron and food. The leaders of various tribes buy luxury goods.
The money goes around and comes back. It seems that both sides benefit. In fact, the manufacturing of luxury goods takes less time, while the digging and processing of wild vegetables take more time."
Queen Wang analyzed from another perspective that once the situation is opened, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan and the Turks will change.
Lijiazhuangzi does not suffer any loss. The luxury goods sold are not available to others, so the price is high, and the materials themselves do not have that much money.
The luxury goods made by Lijiazhuangzi in one hour are sold to the Khitan. The Khitan estimated that it would take a hundred people a day to make them. UU Reading ｗww． uikanshu.net
If the exchange is carried out in this way, it will affect the Khitan people's work in other areas over time.
It seems to be a little bit, and there may not be anything else to exchange in the future, such as letting the Khitan people pick pine nuts, hazelnuts, wild walnuts there...
Oh, and let them grow soybeans.
Li Longji nodded: "When they are short of food, Brother Yi will exchange it for them."
"Why give it back to them when they are short of food?" Concubine Dou Lu couldn't figure it out. She thought that if the Khitan was short of food, they could watch them starve to death.
"Then the Khitan will be completely relieved and know that the Li family will give them whatever they are short of. Once they get used to it, they will be controlled."
Queen Wang has a strategic mindset.
The first time the Khitan was short of food, they didn't exchange it, and some people starved to death. The Khitan understood that they could never use the same trick to deal with them again.
